Optimization of large homogeneous air Cherenkov arrays and application to the design of a 1TeV-100TeV gamma-ray observatory
arXiv:0909.3792 · doi:10.1016/j.astropartphys.2009.09.002
Abstract
At the time large air Cherenkov arrays are being discussed for future gamma-ray observatories, we review the relationship between the targeted capabilities and the main design parameters taking into account construction costs. As an example application, we describe a telescope array optimized for observations between 1 TeV and a few 100 TeV and use detailed simulations to estimate its performances in comparison to science objectives.
